Correctness proofs of compilers and debuggers : an approach based on structural operational semantics

In this thesis we study the use of semantics-based formal methods in the specification and proof of correctness of compilers and debuggers. We use a Structural Operational Semantics as the basis for the specification of compilers and propose a notion of correctness based on an observational equivale...
